[quote=Anonymous]I think it's more complicated, both because of EA/ED (which either didn't exist or I was blissfully unaware of when I applied to college in 1977-78) and because of the Common App. There's the illusion of simplicity with the CA, but not every school DC planned on applying to took it -- and every one that did required a supplement. And when I applied people made fewer applications and knew about fewer schools. Now there's so much info so readily available that you could go crazy trying to draw up a list. And that's before we get to testing and test prep. Or finances. More choice/options = more work. In the end, we got off easy and DC's process resembled mine (no prep courses or retakes, 2 apps, got into fave school). The main difference was timing -- the things I did Sr year, DC did Jr year and acceptance was EA so other apps (mostly already written) weren't necessary. It's really a two-stage process these days.[/quote]
